Diamond question

[nursewurmy]

Can u get a drink and leave with it or must u drink it there? ie can u get wine and take it to dinner?

[beej]

You can't take drinks out

This totally depends on who is the concierge. Some allow taking drinks out, some don't.

When we were on the Jewel a few years back - a couple at our table always came to dinner with their full wine glass - which they promptly told us was from the Diamond Lounge/Event.

I agree with this statement. The rules say that you cannot take drinks out but my experience has been that it truly does depend on the concierge.

 

Happy Cruising!

I've always enjoyed a glass of wine and taken the second glass with me to dinner.

If it's on a ship with just the Diamond Event I've always been able to take my drink with me to dinner...that event is usually held in the Viking crown lounge & they are used to people taking their drinks with them...IF it's a REAL DIAMOND LOUNGE...then No...you usually will not be allowed to take your drink with you...

I am not diamond but maybe you could use those rum runners that ppl have posted out there to sneak it out HAHA.

Sounds as if I just giving a "me too" answer. We have been told on some ships that we could not take drinks from the Diamond lounge. We have been told that we couldn't take the glass from the reception. (In that experience the crew was kind enough to go to the Promenade Cafe and get paper coffee cups, which they happily filled before we went to dinner). We have also been on ships that allowed the glasses to be taken to the dining room.

 

My thought? Smile and wave and tell the staff you will see them tomorrow and enjoy your glass as you walk out.

This makes sense:)

AS stated though depends on the concierge in the dl

if you wait till after 8:30 usually is not an issue though

 

I have been stopped taking drinks in viking crown when only diamond event and also from lounges, but also the reverse

I will be going to the Diamond Lounge alone, as the family that is traveling with me is Emerald.

After I sit with a glass of wine and have a half left---I'll try to leave with the rest Think It will be allowed?

[Langley Cruisers]

... Think It will be allowed?

 

That's what this entire thread is discussing. :p

Generally speaking, No. The idea of the cocktail hours (regardless if it is the Concierge lounge, Diamond Lounge or Diamond Event) is to provide the drink(s) for the passenger to enjoy in the venue, not to subsidize ones dinner alcohol.

 

We have seem many exceptions, from ship to ship, different sailings on the same ship, and even different rules on each segment of a B2B.

Off Allure two weeks ago doing b2b. The real answer is a 10 tip to bartender and 10 dollars to concierge, and I took wine to dinner and after dinner drinks to show.
